Cooke (1958a,b,c, Repr. ed.) in his ‘Flora of the Presidency of Bombay’ had not included Marathwada region, as it was under Hyderabad State. The climate of the Marathwada region supports rich tropical dry deciduous forests and scrub vegetation. During recent floristic exploration, 10 taxa of flowering plants were recorded which are new to the Marathwada region. Enumeration Acacia concurrens Pedley, Contr. Queensland Herb. 15: 9. 1974.

ABSTRACT The present investigation was carried out to study the diversity of fishes of Majalgaon Reservoir from Beed district, Maharashtra state. The present work is carried out during the period December 2011 to November 2012. The fish diversity is represented by 42 fish species belonging to 29 genera, 15 families and 9 orders. Besides identification, the economic importance of fish species is also discussed. Key words: Fish diversity, Economic importance, Majalgaon Reservoir. 1. INTRODUCTION Fishes form one of the most important groups of vertebrates, influencing the aquatic ecosystem & life in various ways. Millions of human beings suffer from hunger and malnutrition. The fishes form a rich source of food and provide a meal to tide over the nutritional difficulties of man in addition to serving as an important item of human diet from time immemorial and are primarily caught for this purpose. Fish diet provides proteins, fat and vitamins A & D.

However, in recent years, while declining HIV trends are evident at the national level as well as in most of the States, some low prevalence and vulnerable States have shown rising trends, warranting focused prevention efforts in specific areas. The National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) is strongly evidence-based and evidence-driven. Based on evidence from ‘Triangulation of Data’ from multiple sources and giving due weightage to vulnerability, the organizational structure of NACP has been decentralized to identified districts for priority attention. The programme has been successful in creating a robust database on HIV/AIDS through the HIV Sentinel Surveillance system, monthly programme reporting data and various research studies.

  • Impact of Extreme Weather Events in Relation to Floods Over Maharashtra in Recent Years D
    Vayu Mandal 43(2), 2017 Impact of Extreme Weather Events in relation to Floods over Maharashtra in Recent Years D. M. Rase, P. S. Narayanan and K. N. Mohan India Meteorological Department, Pune Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT About 400 million hectares of land in India are susceptible to floods of which about 30.8 million hectares have been protected by undertaking both structural and non-structural methods of flood control. On an average, in a year, about 8 million hectares are liable to flood. In India, about 1500 human lives are lost annually due to floods and heavy rains. On an average, about 10 million hectares of crop land is devastated in each year due to impact of flood. We cannot avoid natural hazards (like flood) and disasters, but can minimize their impact on environment by preparedness & planning. Study of extreme rainfall is essential for designing the water related structure, in Agriculture planning, in weather modification, water management, also in monitoring climate changes. Moreover, knowledge of spatial and temporal variability of extreme rainfall event is very much useful for the design of Dam and hydrological planning. In view of the above, to find the impact of extreme / heavy rainfall in Maharashtra, rainfall data for the period 1951 to 2015 for three subdivisions of Maharashtra viz. Madhya Maharashtra, Marathwada and Vidarbha have been utilized for the study. Trends in number of incidences of excess rainfall have been determined by using standard statistical methods and the results discussed. Casualties due to extreme rainfall have also been discussed. Incidences of natural hazards reports prepared by India Met.

  • Optimization of Rainwater Harvesting Sites Using GIS
    Optimization of Rainwater Harvesting Sites using GIS Ruhina Karani1;∗, Anant Joshi2;†, Miloni Joshi2;†, Sarmishta Velury2;† and Saumya Shah2;† Computers Department, Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College of Engineering, University of Mumbai, Mumbai, India Keywords: Rainwater Harvesting, DEM, India, Drought. Abstract: Water scarcity is hitting new peaks every day and is exacerbated by the current rapid climatic change. Demand for clean water in India is very high, especially for agriculture and consumption. One way to cater to these needs is through rainwater harvesting. Through this paper, we propose a framework that optimizes the site selection for reservoirs by intersecting various data points. Our framework uses a three-step approach to combine stream networks, digital elevation, and soil quality to produce the most viable reservoir sites. Our framework is easy to implement and highly scalable. For the purpose of this paper and a proof of concept, we restrict our focus to the arid Beed district in the state of Maharashtra, India. Our approach provides consistent results that are corroborated by the manual inferences that can be drawn from the data under consideration. 1 INTRODUCTION centrated on the Beed and Nagpur district of Maha- rashtra, which often suffers from droughts. India is a large and diverse country. Its exponen- tial progress is tethered down by problems like water scarcity and floods. Due to over-exploitation of water resources, many of our freshwater sources are getting depleted. Groundwater is not getting recharged. The persistent water shortage issue and intense droughts could be mitigated through large scale rainwater har- vesting. The aim of our project is to create an accurate, and Figure 1: Map for Beed district.
